South Sydney forward Tom Burgess has said that his brother Sam made a ‘mistake’ as the fallout continues from the ‘sexting’ scandal that threatens the club’s premiership campaign.

The Rabbitohs and the NRL’s Integrity Unit are working together after a social media account belonging to Sam was used to send lewd images to a young woman following a match against the Warriors earlier in the season.

There is no suggestion Sam was involved but it is alleged that multiple Rabbitohs players exposed themselves to the 23-year-old woman who has now gone public with the story.
